history

In the 1840s the lottery was banned until the laws were changed. the lottery started in Chicago, IL in the 1930s but it came into the senate in 1971 meaning people in Chicago were gambling illegally for all those years! now the lottery is global. "studies have concluded that two out of the three compulsive gamblers commit illegal acts in order to pay gambling debts or to continue gambling" ( gamblinghelp.org )http://www.totalbankruptcy.com/debtress/proof-that-the-lottery-wont-solve-your-financial-woes/
